Ocasio-Cortez Walks Back Claim on World Ending in 12 years

Gee, you think somebody sat her down and told her she's a Dumbass?

“Millennials and people, you know, Gen Z and all these folks that will come after us are looking up and we’re like: The world is going to end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change and your biggest issue is how are we gonna pay for it?” Ocasio-Cortez said. “This is the war — this is our World War II.”-AOC

Now:

"This is a technique of the GOP, to take dry humor + sarcasm literally and ‘fact check it," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. "Like the ‘world ending in 12 years' thing, you’d have to have the social intelligence of a sea sponge to think it’s literal."-AOC
